Savory Mediterranean egg cups with spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes. Perfect for breakfast or meal prep.
# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
→ Dairy
03 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1/4 cup milk
→ Eggs

→ Seasonings
06 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
→ Oils

# How to Make:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
04 - Fold the sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta into the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
07 - Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They freeze beautifully and reheat in under a minute, which means breakfast is basically already made.
- The combination of salty feta and tangy sun dried tomatoes makes them taste far more indulgent than their 97 calories suggest.
02 -
- Do not skip greasing the tin thoroughly, because nothing is more frustrating than half your egg cup clinging to the side of the pan.
- Letting the spinach cool before adding it to the eggs prevents the mixture from starting to cook prematurely and creating weird rubbery patches.
03 -
- Squeeze the sun dried tomatoes gently with a paper towel before chopping to remove excess oil that can make the bottoms greasy.
- A tiny pinch of red pepper flakes in the egg mixture adds a background heat that makes people keep coming back for one more.
